Big Picture Scrapbooking

I just finished a terrific on line class called "Point of View" at Big Picture Scrapbooking taught by one of my favorite artists, Nic Howard. Now that school is so far behind me- I can clearly see how important it is to keep learning- never think you know enough. This class really focused on storytelling- which, as you all know, is very near and dear to me. I don't think of myself as a "scrapbooker" really. I'm more of a storyteller. Silly stories, sad stories, important and everyday ones. They have to be written so that when my voice is silent- they will play on.

Here is a page I made for an assignment that asked for a layout about you- from someone else's point of view. ;)

memories of a more colorful time...

february. i dont like it. the holidays are over- things are grey and are going to stay that way for a few more months. its not that i dont like the chilly weather- i do. fal is one of the BEST times of year- maybe its the colors that make the chill seem so bright and refreshing...i miss them.

The dark side of Christmas....

here's a peek at the sad truth - taking the decorations down- the dark side of Christmas-
EEK!




How can it be that all that wonderfully magic stuff that makes our home so special on December 1- looks so SO sad on January 1? Even the pizza boy laughed when he peeked inside after delivering our meal (Cooking was just NOT on the radar this night!)
